only 6? its two cab rooms per car isnt it and that room is if im rite 4.5 feet by 4 feet thats alot of space with a ten car conses

4-5 more people per car is alot in the middle of rush hours

the R142s are alot bigger when you add it all up, thats why they got them. way more standing room more sitting room, and lets not start on the almost dead PAs on most of them R62a and no more automated next stops or anything, thats not rite for us in the areas where we had nothing like the Bronx now we come back with new stations new cars and now they say lets give queens them and give the bronx and manhatten the old cars, and if they are good for another 10 years at the most because it is 2012 now and by time they come back it will be 2016 2017 so that gives use only 6 years of operating time

i think that maybe the thing they do i hope thats what they do. i ask ppl all over about trains and i hear they love the new cars and most ask why do that and not ask anyone how they feel i love the MTA but sometimes they amaze me on how they do things, the is one of the most used lines in the city and giving them old cars that are way smaller the doors are not as wide that cab room is a big problem

i already know they arent taking any of the R142s from the or i just know its going to suck seeing them on the and those R62a are in bad shape i ride them every summer and its sick. they have bad PAs they are leaky alot of them have very bad AC and heating and with the rooms they have on all the cars take up alot space that the and dont need,. they have alot of over crowding problems as it is on the lex i dont know why they would do that. and just to point out yea they dont have the money but the trains are going on 25 years now

i really hope they have some idea of what they are doing, if they are taking almost every R142a from the 6, they had it wrong the 5 doesnt run them at all, but the R62a are run down and in need of repair or being kicked out by time they have them R142a all ready for CBTC in another 4 years or so. the R 62a are going to be over 25 years old given them back to any line isnt smart at all, why give a line new cars just to take them back from them 10 15 years later and give you back cars that you just took away, the people that ride the IRT lines other than the 7 love the new style and its a real smack in the face to just give us old run down cars that need so much work just to keep in service/

this is so much better than doing weekends only n over nites alot of work was done i see and its fast. they cleaned alot they painted put lights up in the tunnels new LEDs they look good. they did alot of work over the week. i think this should be the way they do it all the time along with the over the weekend work,

the R188 are going to sound just like the R142as they are using the same kind of system

funny you said that because they ordered new buses for the CNG depots they will start coming in in oct and they are very nice take a look. inside it tells you what stop your at and the next stop coming its fully automated.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6gJNi7R7cg

http://www.nycsubway.org/cars/a-div-new-tech.html they are taking 350 cars from the Kawasaki R142As they have 600 so they will have 300 cars left on the line if you read it, it shows that. they arent taking any of the R142s at all and the idea that some of the (2)and(5)s are going to the (6)isnt true they will run both R62a and the left over R142a

wow maybe its because that is over 20mile of riding, in some areas,

yes i have too go with that too they did alot of work on the IRT and o love how many of the stations have the countdown clocks, i take vids of them so anyone wanna see them check it on youtube chrsjct.

the R62a r almost 30 years old they are very out dated, they didn't want too hold on too them because they want fully automated cars like the R142 143 160 They may get rid of them if they have the money for it in 2020

thats true and i know that the 2 line is just nuts by miles it goes from the north bronx too the south bronx and than west than mid manhatten too the west side under central park than snakes down manhatten too the south of it than too brooklyn thats long as hell, dont forget when it goes too new lots in the morning rush.

they arent doing the R142s from bombardier they only doing the R142a from Kawasaki
